21.01.2022 QUESTION OF THE WEEK Do I even need a mortgage broker? On a personal level, I believe absolutely! There are so many benefits to using a mortgage broker. Getting a mortgage is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, so it’s important to get it right. ... Here are 7 Reasons why we believe mortgage brokers are the way to go: - Here at I Know the Broker we coach you through the buying process. From how to make an offer, negotiate on finance and settlement terms and deposits. - We aren't tied to any particular lenders or products. We make sure we match you with the lender that matches your circumstances. This will save you time, confusion and having the need to make multiple applications. - Our home loan service is free! - You can benefit from our experiences as we have many years of experience in the finance and credit industry. Fully accredited with the MFAA, Diploma in Finance and Advanced Diploma in financial planning. - We speed up your application process and have the ability to escalate if short time frames need to be met. - We specialise in all different types of loans from home loans, investment loans, car loans, personal loans, business loans, commercial loans and asset loans. - Most importantly, we will make the home buying process a smooth and stress-free experience for you! It’s important to be aware that not all mortgage brokers are equal, so be sure to use one that is fully accredited by the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA). Choosing a home loan is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make in your life, so why not get free expert home loan advice?

20.01.2022 I often get asked the question "What is a finance clause?" Well, a subject to finance clause tells the vendor (property seller) that you legally agree to the purchase on the condition that you receive formal home loan approval from your bank. It protects you from losing your deposit or being sued for damages by the vendor should your loan be declined. However, there are slight differences between each state.... Standard contracts in Queensland include a finance clause but it must be completed in full for the clause to take affect. A 14-21 day finance clause is most common but a longer timeframe can be negotiated with the vendor.

15.01.2022 QUESTION OF THE WEEK What exactly does a Mortgage Broker do? Great Question! A Mortgage Broker's role is to help you obtain a home loan or mortgage. The broker acts as an intermediary, negotiating between you and lenders such as banks, building societies, credit unions, or other credit providers including online only lenders. A broker will then asses loans suitable for your financial situation, compare home loan products from a number of different lenders on your behalf and manage the mortgage application process all the way to settlement and beyond!

14.01.2022 MONEY SAVING TIP OF THE WEEK! Christmas is fast approaching! Create a family spending limit on gifts.

12.01.2022 I often get asked How do car loans work? Well, when you take out a car loan to buy a car, your lender purchases the car for you and allows you to pay it back over the course of the loan, according to its terms. Essentially, the lender gives you the service of using its money, and in exchange, you compensate the lender for its services by paying interest. Contact us today to find out more!
